Parents

We are pleased that you and your student have chosen to join our UHV family. Parents and families are important to the process that leads students to graduation and a rewarding career. Families provide the support that allows students to grow and persist in their studies.

Parent Orientation

New UHV Freshman students attend an orientation during the Spring or Summer before school begins in August. During the same times, UHV offers Parent Orientation, at which you will have the chance to meet UHV administrators, staff and students, and participate in sessions that will help you and your student transition to college successfully. Session topics include: Getting to know Victoria; What college parents need to know; funding your student’s education; and Helping your student succeed.

While you are on campus, you can tour UHV, visit with Financial Aid and Student Billing representatives, and learn about UHV’s student support programs. Plus, you can learn how to connect to other parent engagement opportunities!

Plan to join us on April 29, June 17, or July 15, 2017! Call 361-570-4110 or email recruitment@uhv.edu for more information.
